Volunteer with our amazing team and make a difference in your community!
We’re recruiting volunteers from all backgrounds and levels of experience across each of our 23 stores. Whether you’re new to retail or a seasoned professional, we’d love to hear from you.
By volunteering with the Brotherhood of St. Laurence, you'll help support the most vulnerable members of our community with a brighter future. You’ll also help us continue to raise funds through our stores for the many life changing community programs, services and research we undertake to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia.
Come join us in our mission to pursue lasting change in the community, inspiring a more compassionate and just society where everyone can thrive.
BSL is focused more than ever on ensuring a safe working environment for all of our volunteers with COVID safe practices.
